New South Wales has recorded 18 new locally acquired cases of Covid-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm yesterday.
Fifteen of those cases are linked to the Bondi cluster, two are close contacts of a previously reported unlinked case.
Of the new 18 cases, six were in isolation throughout their infectious periods. A further three cases were in isolation for part of their infectious periods.
NSW Health also announced this afternoon an additional two South Coogee Public School students have tested positive.

The students are close contacts of the two previously reported cases at the school, bringing the total number of students with Covid-19 at South Coogee Public School to four.
Based on the additional cases and because the children interact in different year groups, all students were now deemed close contacts and must get tested and self-isolate for 14 days regardless of a negative test result.
Five of the new cases were linked to the Great Ocean Foods seafood wholesaler in Marrickville, bringing the total number of cases in that cluster to 16.
Two new cases are linked to the West Hoxton birthday party, bringing the total number of cases from the party to 31. That includes 24 people who acquired it at the party and subsequent contacts of theirs.
A new case announced yesterday in the Glen Innes Severn Local Government Area is also included in NSW's numbers today.
The man in his 30s was exposed to the virus at the Granites gold mine in the Tanami Desert in the Northern Territory.
He has been in isolation since his return home and there was no current risk of infection to the local community.
The case wasn't linked to the Bondi cluster.
NSW now has 88 cases of Covid-19, two of whom are in intensive care.
Most cases - 92 per cent - are being treated in non-acute, out-of-hospital care, including returned travellers in the Special Health Accommodation.
The Prime Minister this morning indicated the transtasman bubble will resume shortly with the exception of New South Wales, which would remain paused.
And Jacinda Ardern has revealed she has not been told by health officials of any new community cases in New Zealand overnight.
She told RNZ there were no positive results from widespread testing in Wellington in the past 12 hours following last week's health scare when an infected Australian tourist took a weekend break in the capital city.
The Victorian Government this morning reported no new cases in the community over the past 24 hours to midnight, including any infections from across state lines.
However Queensland's chief health officer Jeannette Young announced two new positive cases, including a female miner who had been out in the community while infectious.
The worker was one of 170 fly-in fly-out workers from a Northern Territory gold mine where a positive case was detected at the weekend.
The woman had started out on a family road trip, including visiting petrol stations and cafes.
The other infected person was already in quarantine when they tested positive.
Ardern said keeping Wellington in level 2 would give officials additional time to get extra test results through following confirmation the Australian visitor's partner had now tested positive.
Wellington would likely move to level 1 from Wednesday if there were no positive tests, she said.
This morning the Prime Minister defended the bubble pause, saying it was necessary to protect New Zealand's own freedoms and give time to put in place pre-departure screening.
And she revealed each traveller would be required to pay for the pre-departure test.
Ardern told The AM Show the Government would have to enforce it and this was something they were seriously considering, she said.
It also gave officials time to assess several cases in Australia including the Northern Territory miner and the several hundred close contacts they are trying to locate, as well as the Victorian airline steward who had been on multiple domestic flights.
Ardern said there was a "risk of short-term pauses" and asked New Zealanders to stay where they were and follow the guidelines.
